“We’ll have to be careful not to lose them now,” Don said.
“There they are, right ahead of us,” announced Jordan, “They must have lost him, because they are just standing there.”
“They are right in front of that old house,” observed Don, as they ran forward.
The others turned in glad surprise when the two ran up.
“Did you lose him?” Jordan called, as they joined them.
“He just bolted into that house,” Terry answered. “Think we ought to go in after him?”
“Absolutely,” was the reply from the senior captain. “All you fellows have your flashlights, haven’t you?”
They all had. Jordan led the way inside the gate and they walked with great care toward the house.
“He was way ahead of us,” said Motley, “and just as soon as he got to this old house he bolted right inside. He may be armed, so we had better be careful.”
“Yes,” replied Jordan. “But if he is in the house we are bound to get him. Be ready to put your light out if he tries any shooting. And be careful of holes or anything in the house.”
